[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 612412, member: 1514"] I only really like Easter and Halloween and those are beginning to get old to me now. I barely come out of my room for Thanksgiving and Xmas. I always come out to watch the kids open presents but then its back to my room. Tony and I made a pact years ago that we wouldnt get each other anything for Xmas because we were so poor. Now I get him a few things like shirts and pants he can use for work. Once in a while something he really wants. He has only bought me a few things over the years. That has only happened since Billy grew up and was able to tell him how to buy something I wanted. Most times they go in together on something. I know not to expect anything from the other two. Jamie tends to get his father something but never me. I do go all out and try to get things that the grandchildren will like but this year Im only excited about Monkey. Well when am I not excited about her? LOL. I hate the fact that last year I bought some really nice things for Mouse and Mandy sold it all when she went to TX for a week. That really ticked me off. She could have just brought her toys to my house to hold on to. This year Im not getting her much at all that will leave my house. Monkey's stuff normally stays at my house and this year she really only wants two major gifts. One of which is a bunk bed. She fell in love with it one day when she went with me to pay my fridge bill. I have to clean out her room so I can get her stuff in there. I am wanting Tony to make hutch type thing for her to put her more fragile things on so Mouse cant get to them. Mouse is so destructive. I got Monkey an entire set of children's Blue Willow dishes and tea set that matches the dishes that I got from my mom. Monkey wont understand the significance until she is older. Tony and I dont even know what we are doing Thanksgiving day. We might just make a baking hen instead of a turkey. We arent planning on inviting Cory and I know Mandy will plan on spending it with her family. I dont know that she will invite Cory or not. He may just have to spend it alone. Maybe that will make him think. Or not, at the moment I dont much care. I am planning on taking Billy and Tony out to Walmart for Black Friday when they open at 6 pm on Thanksgiving day.
